  • Patent number: 12283908
    Abstract: A motor driver having a temperature sensing mechanism is provided. A control circuit determines a time for outputting a controlling signal according to a pulse-width modulation signal received from an external pulse-width modulation circuit. A driving circuit outputs a driving signal according to the controlling signal. An output stage circuit operates according to the driving signal to output an output stage signal to a motor to drive the motor to rotate. In a temperature sensing mode, a thermal sensor circuit senses a temperature inside the motor driver to output a temperature sensing signal. An external system circuit determines whether or not the motor driver causes overheating to the motor when being adapted to the motor according to the temperature sensing signal, and evaluates whether or not the motor driver is applicable to the motor.

  • Publication number: 20250123262
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for trapping and electrically monitoring molecules in a nanopore sensor. The nanopore sensor comprises a support structure with a first and a second fluidic chamber, at least one nanopore fluidically connected to the two chambers, and a protein shuttle. The protein shuttle comprises an electrically charged protein molecule, such as Avidin. The nanopore can be a Clytosolin A. A method can comprise applying a voltage across the nanopores to draw protein shuttles towards the nanopores. The ionic current through each or all of the nanopores can be concurrently measured. Based on the measured ionic current, blockage events can be detected. Each blockage event indicates a capture of a protein shuttle by at least one nanopore. Each blockage event can be detected through a change of the total ionic current flow or a change in the ionic current flow for a particular nanopore.
